Steps:
- Boil the noodles according to package instructions. Drain in a colander in the sink and rinse under cold running water. Shake the colander to drain off excess water and pat the noodles dry with a towel. Heat 1/4 cup of the peanut oil in a large seasoned or non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the noodles, spreading them out to evenly cover the skillet, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. (Break the noodles up, by stirring, near the end of the cooking). Transfer noodles to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt to taste. Set aside. Discard any excess oil and wipe out the pan. Whisk together the chicken broth, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar in a small bowl, and set aside. Season the chicken with the dark sesame oil, salt, and pepper, and set aside. Heat the skillet over high heat. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil until very hot. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion and stir-fry, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken and stir-fry, until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and mushrooms and stir-fry, until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the water chestnuts and spread the ingredients to the outside of the pan to form a well in the center. Pour the chicken broth mixture into the well, bring to a boil, and stir to coat the chow mein mixture. Stir in the bean sprouts and remove from the heat. Season generously to taste with pepper. Transfer chicken chow mein to a warm platter and top with the fried noodles. Serve immediately with rice. Pass more soy sauce at the table.

CHICKEN CHOW MEIN CASSEROLE
This simple casserole version of chicken chow mein makes great use of leftover chicken or turkey and is easy on the budget and your time. I don't measure or weigh the amount of chicken I use but the original recipe calls for 3 pounds so I've left the recipe that way. I just use whatever I have left over, or I'll stew a few chicken breasts or pieces if I'm starting from scratch. If you've got 2-3 cups of chicken you'll be in good shape. For a little extra kick add some red pepper flakes. You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller family.

DELICIOUS ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD WITH CHOW MEIN NOODLES
A delicious and easy to make salad, I sometimes add in a tablespoon of peanut butter to the dressing, plan ahead the dressing must refrigerate for a couple of hours in advance to blend flavors, it may be doubled if desired -- the salad may be prepared in advance but do not add in the dressing or orange segments until just before serving, prep time does not include cooking the chicken, all amounts may be adjusted to taste :)

CHINESE TAKE-OUT CHICKEN CHOW MEIN WITH CRISPY NOODLES
Most historians agree that noodles have been consumed in China for over two thousand years. This dish probably came over in the mid 1800's with workers headed for the railroads and has about a thousand variations. One thing most foodies agree on is that the crispy noodles in the can are a big no-no. We are fans of frying these soft noodles until they are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken, 1 tablespoon of rice wine and 1 teaspoon of soy sauce in a medium bowl. Marinate at room temperature while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup of soy sauce, the remaining 3 tablespoons of rice wine, the stock, rice vinegar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, red chili sauce, and cornstarch. Set aside.
- Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in an large pot. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking. Lay the noodles out on paper towels to dry.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan to 360ºF and add the noodles.
- They will cling together forming a pancake of sorts. Fry this on one side for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is crisp, then flip the noodle pancake with a spatula and fry the other side for 3 minutes. Drain the noodle pancake on paper towels, cover with aluminum foil, and keep in a warm place.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the wok and add the chicken. Stir-fry until it is almost cooked, about 2 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and add the garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the onion, bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, snow peas, and carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4 minutes or until the color brightens. Return the chicken to the pan, and stir in the sauce. Cover and cook 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens.
- Place the noodle cake on a large serving dish and top with the chicken and vegetables. Serve hot.
- Variation: You may substitute beef, pork, tofu, or shrimp for the chicken in this recipe.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your chow mein the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the noodles. Chow mein noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a well-seasoned wok. A well-seasoned wok will help prevent the noodles and vegetables from sticking.
- Cook the chicken in small batches. This will help ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Add the vegetables to the wok in order of their cooking time. This will help ensure that all of the vegetables are cooked properly.
- Use a light touch when stirring the noodles and vegetables. Over-stirring can break up the noodles and make the vegetables mushy.
- Serve the chow mein immediately. Chow mein is best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken chow mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality chow mein that the whole family will love.
